Help! Is this mold?

[jrabbits]

Is this mold and do I need to change this quickly? The dirt is from the BioDude online and it’s the correct dirt for the species. I have a Mexican fire leg And a columbian giant red leg. I keep one more humid then the other but both have the same terra Aranea dirt which is good for both species they said. But this looks suspicious. help!

If by Mexican fire leg you mean Brachypelma boehmei & if by columbian giant red leg you mean Megaphobema robustum. Then these T's should be kept in very different conditions & mold should not be an issue in a Brachypelma enclosure, as it should be kept dry. But the robustom is a tropical rainforst species so needs moist, warm conditions. Thus mold is always a potential.

Mold in it's self is not an issue & something that can & does happen. Ventilation is helpful, as are springtails to keep mold under control in moister enclosures & I feed my springtails a pinch of dry yeast, every so often, to produce mold & thus keep them well fed & happy & thus mold at bay.

It looks like OP has flower pot fungus, and if that's the case, I don't believe springtails will eat that type of mold. It shouldn't pose any harm to the T, imo, but if it gets outta hand they'll have to clean it out.
